The plugins there are from various authors and are not really
maintained. Most of them have contact information in the header of the
file. We now ask 3rd party plugin writers to post all their plugins to:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/


For the specific problems you mentionned these plugins have been wrote
to be included in plugins-scripts/, where the 'use lib utils.pm ;' line
is replaced by 'use lib "@libexecdir" ;' (@libexecdir being
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec" in most case) at compile time.

At first glance the affected plugins seems to be:

check_apc_ups.pl
check_appletalk.pl
check_linux_raid.pl
check_snmp_procs.pl

I'd personally just substitute it for:

use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec";

and let people with different installation paths deal with it.

Any thoughts?
